OPG - One Page Game

OPG - One Page Game

Have you ever wanted to run a game but didn't want to invest in multiple rules tomes?

Ever looked at a rules set and realized that it will take weeks if not months before you become proficient in them?

Ever wanted to just put your ideas for a game onto paper and not worry about whether the system will capture the mood or atmosphere that you wanted to portray?

Ever wanted to just play?

One Page Game is a minimalistic rule set that provides a foundation for any genre of roleplaying, complete with conflict resolution, consequences for failure, character advancement, modular customization and story-driven excitement.

With this purchase, you'll get the OPG System, all on one page (plus a cover page), a blank character template, as well as a sample fantasy setting and starter adventure - The New World and Expedition to Erzykol.

A fantastic little system, featherweight rules and easy to grasp in mere moments. Would have loved to review it, but the button seems not to be working atm. Still, I think this game is must-grab for anyone who enjoys RPGs for roleplaying-sake. Softer, more evocative, less literal systems seem to be a bit of a vogue lately and I found this one to be the lite version of things like FATE or Cortex. Great stuff. Check it out.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
